I can confirm this behavior with an up to date karmic (x64) and tilda 0.09.6-1 (fresh install)

See http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1704679&group_id=126081&atid=704595 for further information.

tilda does not work well with some shell (the one in the SHELL variable), try SHELL="/bin/bash" tilda
a workaround is to use the option "run a custom command".

tilda will also segfault on you if your config files somehow get munged- look in ~/.tilda and make sure you don't suddenly have a second config file.

I ran ‘sudo apt-get purge tilda && sudo apt-get install tilda’ and it still doesn’t work.

I tried ‘SHELL="/bin/bash" tilda’ and it still didn’t work.

I’m not sure what update broke my Tilda installation, but I’m forced to use Yakuake until it is fixed.

Running 64-bit Jaunty, fully updated.

David, can you try removing your ~/.tilda directory and tell us if the error goes away?
Thank you

[David D Short (chameleondave)]

Oh, I was under the impression that ‘sudo apt-get purge tilda’ would do that automatically.

OK, I did ‘rm -frv ~/.tilda’ and now my Tilda works fine.

[Dimitrios Symeonidis (azimout)]

Is this still an issue for the others?

Fixed for me!
SHELL='/bin/bash' tilda
did the trick.

After it, I was able to configure it's launch using even zsh :)
You can close it.

This bug is closed upstream (without obvious solution or patch), but we are able to make it work with one or another workaround.

You can close it.

[Dimitrios Symeonidis (azimout)]

closing as fix released, as per your last comment

Even though I was able to start it by setting SHELL='/bin/bash' and by using "Run a custom program", I consider this bug far from being fixed...
